NEW REVIEWS

Jonas Vitaud's Brahms CD received a review in this month's BBC music magazine. "Excellent disc... searching intelligence ... beautifully phrased and voiced"

James Gilchrist's Winterreise has been chosen CD of the Month in BBC Music Magazine. You can download a free track from the magazine's playlist on iTunes by going to www.classical-music.com/iTunes

Another accolade for James Gilchrist's Winterreise - this time Editor's Choice in Classical Music Magazine.

James Gilchrist's Winterreise is Album of the Week in The Independent: "... Gilchrist makes the best possible case for tenors. His light, sweet voice is wonderfully expressive, and Anna Tilbrook's accompaniments are ideal, subtly honouring the beauty of the piano writing without any obtrusiveness."

Nino Gvetadze's new album "Widmung" receives review in BBC music magazine: "In music that so many pianists play merely for thrills and bravura, she proves a thoughtful artist with a wonderfully flexible sense of line and tempo... Orchid Classics's sound is as flawless as her playing"

Another great review for Nino Gvetadze's new album "Widmung" in Classic FM Magazine:
"thoughtfully constructed programme ...keyboard poetry above all else ... unfailingly beautiful sound.
" I would buy this recital for her performance of the two song transcriptions alone: Widmung must be one of the most beautiful accounts on disc."

Nino Gvetadze's new album "Widmung" has been chosen Album of the Week by The Independent: "Another fruit of the Liszt centenary, another outstanding CD. This young pianist hails from Georgia, and her approach to the great B minor Sonata is more delicate than most; the arrangement of Schubert's "Gretchen am Spinnrade" becomes magical, as does the second Ballade. Gvetadze's playing has a wonderfully silky sheen."

James Gilchrist's Schöne Müllerin has received in Diapason Magazine (July-August 2011).

Classic FM Magazine(August 2011) features Nino Gvetadze and her new album "Widmung" in a major article on Georgian musical revolution. Have a look at the full article on Nino's facebook fanpage.

Matthew Trusler's CD of concertos by Rozsa and Korngold has received in France's most prestigious music magazine Diapason:
"... [un] approche expressive et élégante...
"... le jeune homme témoigne d'un gout très sûr dans ces pages que l'on peut facilement dévoyer.
"... quel art vocal dans le déploiement des grandes lignes."

Thomas Carroll's new album "Vienna" has been chosen as Recording of the Month on musicweb.com:
"... excellent in every sense. It will change your like of this music to love. It is devoted. The cello sound is “big” and vibrant. It has pulp. It is not smoothly flat - but the vibrato does not annoy...
"... ideal balance of the two instruments...
"... both instruments sing, and their voices blend perfectly...
"... these are definitive performances of ultimate beauty, and I think that I already know what will be my Disc of the Year."

Norman Lebrecht's chose Nino Gvetadze's new album "Widmung" as one of his CDs of the Week and praises: "The young Georgian contender finds an edge of fire in the Liszt B-minor sonata and a deft caress in his B-minor ballade ... a fine introduction to her pungent style."

Another review for Thomas Carroll's new album "Vienna" in the Daily Telegraph: " impressively thought-through, with just the right amount of light and shade to bring [the works] to life."

"Thomas Carroll and Llyr Willams's performances of both Beethoven's A major Cello Sonata and the Brahms work in F major make you wish the Welsh duo would record the remainder of both composer's cello-and-piano works as soon as possible. Both are intensely musical accounts, with no details overlooked and no challenges ducked, and there is never any sense of either partner hogging the limelight... In Schubert's Arpeggione Sonata ... Carroll's playing nails the world-weary melancholy of the opening precisely, and he reserves a beautifully veiled tone for its slow movement. As in the two bigger sonatas, there's not a note out of place." The Guardian on Thomas Carroll's new album "Vienna"
